Judy Wee Aye Fong, Singaporean, is among the trio who were allegedly linked to a kidnapping case in Malaysia and charged in Singapore on 26 February 2016 with one count each of attempted extortion involving US$250,000 (S$346,000).

Wee knew a Chinese national named Huang Dong, who wanted to exchange the money for either the US or Singapore currency. Huang, based in China, asked intermediaries including Wee, to help him - in return for a commission.
